SPATTERINGS.

All accounts seem to vie in detailed
descriptions of youthful ferocity, and
there is no reason why HALEY should
not furnish some typical, bright, as
well as handsome kids. IT'S true
there may be none here who at the
early age of four can address their
prayers to the Throne above in
French or German; but then the for
eign mania has not reached US in its
religious fervor But one child here
is not sojourning in the West for his
health, any more than are older peo-
pie. He has been a victim to the
prevailing epidemic, and three con-
secutive nights kept the family awake
with his coughing. Two nights he
took the nauseous medicine, as his
mother told him it would make him
we'll. The third night he rebelled,
saying: "You told me it would cure
me the other nights, and it didn't;
won't take it any MORE" Every in.
ducement failed, and the remedy was
changed before he would touch it.
Even then he had to be hired; and dc
you think q nickel, quarter or nal
dollar would persuade this 6nancier:
Indeed, it took a large dollar to ap
pease his cupidity. Therefore, I say
this child appreciates the value of s'l

st. Patrick's celebration went the
way of most other ST. Patrick days,
with an exceptional d;splay of warm
hearted Irish spirit and mining-camp
generosity, when another of our
precocious youngsters few years
older than four, recited the stirring
Shamus O'Brien, dear to every child
of Erin, in most praiseworthy style.
He was rewarded by shower of sub
stantial quarters and dollars. This is
the most genuine ldfashioned
Western effusion this town has ever
chronicled. 1t surely presages a
coming boom, when golden showers
will be commonplace.

Greatly Overrated.

Arkansas Traveller.
A widow who. having come from the
East and established herself in West
ern town, was visited by friend from
the old home.
'Well, how do you like it out here,
any way?"
Not very WELL"
''People too rough for yOu?"
''They are not only rOugh-they are
peculiar; and, in fact, the men are over
rated"
''In what way?"
"Well, I'll make a plain statement
and let you draw your own conclusions.
l had read in the newspapers that wo-
men were in demand out here, and l
naturally expected some little atten-

''Didn't you receive it?"
''Wait until l get through with my

my glass eye reglazed and plunged into

You Will Snore Anon.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard of a snoring savage. In fact, if
the wild man of the woods and plains
does not sleep quietly he runs the risk
of being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp of the snOrer would soon adOrn
the belt of his crafty and more silent
sleeping adversary. In the natural
state, then, natural selection"
weeds out those who disturb
their neighbors by making night
hideous with snOres. With civilization,
however, we have changed all this. The
impure air of our sleeping rooms in

The nasal passages are the first to be-
come affected. Instead of warming the
inspired air on its way to the lungs and
removing from it the dangerous impuri-
ties with which it is loaded, the nose be-

tiers and escapes by way of the mouth.
The veil of the palate yibrateS between
the two currents-that through the par

The SnOre, then, means that the sleep
er'S mouth is partially open, that his
nose is partially closed and that his
lungs are in danger from the air not
being properly warmed and purified.
From the continual operation of these

Rartenders' Signals.

"What does all that pantomime
mean?" was the question a New York
Telegram reporter put to an experienced
bartender to-day, as the man he had just
relieved passed through the doorway to
the street.
''It means this" said he. "Since they
have been adopting all these machines
to catch bartenders who are supposed to
steal, there has come into vogue set of
signs in the shape of actions and words
that have pretty general standing with
men behind the counter"
"WhO originated the code of signals?"
''Now you have me-" said the blonde
dispenser of decOctions. II have asked
that question again and again, but l
could get no satisfactory answer. Now,
by the way that man shut the door can
tell whether he has made any money
during his tour of duty or not"
''Are there any other signs?"
Dozens of them. The lighting of the
gas, the handling of check, the filling
of a bottle"

BoRoDINo AND GETTYSBURG.
Modern Battles in Which a Great
Number of Men Were Killed.

Louisville Courier-J Journal.
1t is not unintereSting to state what
have been the bloodieSt battles of the
last 100 years, that is, to compute the
percentage of loss to the numbers en-
gagged. Within the allotted time the
Napoleonic battles come fist. The
battle of Lodi, Bonaparte's first brilliant
success, was simply the daring passage
of brigade, and does not enter into the
computation. ArcOla was the most
sanguinary struggle of the Italian cam
paign. The forces engaged numbered
about &c, 900, and the loss was about 25,-
900, or about 35 per cent. At RivOli
there were $4,000 men engaged, and the
loss was 10000, but 20,0C0 of these con-
sisted OF AuStrlanS who surrendered to
Napoleon, SO that the real loss was only
y per cent.
After Bonaparte's return from Egypt
he fought the battle of Mareng0. In its
results this was one of the most momen-
tous engagements in history, but all ac-
counts agree that it was the worst
planned and worst fought of all Bona
parties victories. There were $4,000
men engaged. and the loss was 1T,0G0, or
about IS per cent. AT the battle of
AusterlitZ, which by many is considered
Nap0leOn'S most brilliant victory, the
French and Austro-RusSian armies num-
bered 100000 men and the loss was 49,
000, OF about Is per cent. At Jewa-
AuerStadt there weIe 325, ,0o0 men ell
gagged and the loss was 10000. or about
12 per cent. At Borodino there were

ALBERT LEA, Minn., Nov. 6.-Shortly
after II o'clock last night some en-
plOyes of the Burlington railroad saw
light in the fourth story of the large
brick steam Touring mill, ana sOOr
after flames broke out of the building.
An alarm brought out the fire company,
but their gallant efforts were Intellectual.
The fire was unconquerable and soon
filled the building, and spread so fast
that in less than two hours the immense
structure, with the adjacent warehouse,
containing $4,000 bushels of wheat, was
a complete ruin. The mill was first
class, costing 100000. The engine and
boiler are damaged badly, but not
ruined. The total loss is S75, 900; inSur-
ance, S24, 600 on mill and $500 on wheat.
The caus of the fire is mystery. 1t
was first seen in the top story and was
not likely of incendiary origin. The
mill was owned by the Albert Lea Mill
company, R. NJ. Todd being the princi-
pal of the company. 1t has been very
profitable every year of its existence
and was starting on its fourth year with
better prospects than ever. The plucky
proprietors will at once proceed to re-
build better than ever. but they cannot,
of course, get in shape for this years
business. and their loss is thus greatly
increased.

the battle of Inkerman, and the casual
ties amounted to 25,6O0, or 20 per cent.
AT Magenta there were 225,000 men; the
loss was II per cent, or about $4,000. At
Solferino there were 250,0O0, and the
loss was 10000, or 16 per cent. At So
dowa the hostile forces numbered 425,-
900, and 10000, or 16 per cent, were
killed and wounded. AT Gravelotte
there were 100000 men in the encounter.
OF whom $4,000, or about per cent,
were killed and wounded. At Shiloh
the armies numbered 10000, and the loss
was $4,000, or One-third. At FrederickS-
burg there were 10000, and the loss
was 10000, or II per cent. At Antietam
there were 10000, and the loss was
10000, or about 13 per cent. AT Chicka-
mauga there were los, 600, and the loss
was $4,000, or 20 per cent. At Chaneel-
lOrSville there were 10000, and the loss
was 10000, or 90 per cent. At Gettysburg
there were 160, ,000. and the loss amounted
to $1,000, or SO per cent. Thus the fig
ures show that Borodino was the blood
lest battle of modern times, with Gettys-
burg i'll the second place.

PREACHERS IN POLITICS.
Rather Peculiar Proceedings Yes

Special to the Globe
DEs MONIES, To-, Nov. 6.-The Prot
estant Ministerial association, of Des
Moines, adopted an address on Friday
last which all agreed to read from their
pulpits this morning. 1t was Ill sub
stance an appeal to the citizens of Polk
county to vote the Republican ticket Oh
Tuesday, and thus secure a continuance
of prohibition i'll DeS MoineS. The an
nOuncement in last evenings paper
that such an address would be read
created a storm of indignation among
Democrats and anti-prohibition Repub-
licanS, which became so violent this
morning that several of the prominent
ministers neglected to read the address.
In the Methodist and Baptist churches,
however, the ministers stood up to their
agreements and found the prohibition
/ heart by reading the document and Civ
ing notice of Republican rally at the
big crowd of church people turned out
to hear J. S. Polk and Rev. A.
l.. Frisbie expound pure Republican
doctrines. Nearly all the churches
were closed to enable their worshipers
to attend. To make the day still more
interesting Constable Pierce, in passing
by boarding house on East Walnut
street, seized one of the bOarders, hand
cuffed him and marched him Off to jail.
He happened to be an Irishman. As
Pierce marched him along he leered tri-
umphantly at a couple of prominent
business men of the same nationality
and said: ''If there is anything L enjoy
it is getting one of your countrymen
just as have got this fellow" They
Immediately went before a justice and
had the arrested man bailed out. This
has been a great moral campaign in
Polk county. The Prohibition candi-
date for the legislature has been caught
in deliberate falsehood, told to bolster
up his chances for election, and the
churches are doing everything but hold
ing political barbecues on the Sabbath
to help along his election. There is
every probility, however, that the great
moral combination will be beaten.

'Do walters in this country then re-

Salaries be -" replied he of the
red face. ''Pardon my impetuosity," he
added, smiling, ''but your simplicity is
quite refreshing. It's the tips, sir, that
count; the tips"
''Oh, now / understand you," said the
timid man, with a poor attempt at
smile. "Certainly; yes, the tips; but L
had no idea that they amounted to any
thing considerable"
"Well, SIR" continued he of the ruddy
complexion, ''you might be inclined to
doubt my assertions, but that very
young man whom you characterized as
smart owns a horse and buggy of his
own-aye, and drives it in the park, too.

mond as big as plover's egg. His bank

and it is only the other day that l heard
he had invested in couple of corner

laughed outright and shook his head.
He was satisfied with things as they

tent at ther mercy?'

| have heard of a projected scheme
which, if carried out, will shake waiter
dom to its core. 1t is whispered about
that the masters intend to form a mu-
tual protective aSsoci0liOn and bind
themselves not to employ walters leav-
ing one anOther's establishments. 1t is
also hinted that in view of the substan-
tial perquisltes attached to walters
billets salaries will be done away with;
and furthermore, that big premiums
will be charged for good positions, thus
making the appointments competitive
affairs and enabling smart young men to
purchase the right to wear aprons in
